The striker now sits top of the goals standings in the PL and Europe. Haaland has 49 goals in 42 games in all competitions for Pep Guardiola’s side and will surely add to that tally before the season ends.
The Cityzens still have seven Premier League matches left to play. They will also face Manchester United in the FA Cup final and Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Meanwhile, Haaland has been directly involved in 57 goals (49 goals, eight assists) in 43 matches in all competitions this season, 15 more than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues. He is scoring or assisting every 58 minutes on average.
Manchester City are back in Premier League action on Sunday at Fulham.
